Proposal: All Bruins Trade Rumours /Proposals IX

[CDJ]

Is there such things as Shootout specialists who are forth liners coz this team needs a couple of them. They suck at them.

matt Hendricks was that

 

[BruinsNetwork]

The Bruins have too many cap and injury uncertainties right now to make a significant trade, IMO, but in the meantime:

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
DeBrusk-Krejci-Kuhlman
Bjork-Coyle-Senyshyn
Heinen-Kuraly-Wagner

Time to cut bait with Ritchie and keep Backes and Lindholm as depth players where they belong.

 

[TCB]

Justin Williams is still out-there and he has always been a big-time playoff performer, I don't know if he'd be willing to sign elsewhere or its Carolina or no-where, but If Im Sweeney, I'd have him on speed dial.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Sweeney made two great moves at last year’s deadline with Coyle and Johansson, so I’ll show some patience and wait for another solid move this year. Another Johansson type addition will be great.

He’s a big part of the community down there, I don’t think they’d move him. Besides is he the captain?

edit: he was captain last season, not this season

double edit: didn’t realize he wasn’t even on a team lol

I looked him up on Cap Friendly. I don't know if he's still under contract to Carolina but he would be good here IMO. If he's under contract though I doubt that they would trade him to the Bruins if he asked for a trade. If he wants to play again in the NHL I would imagine that he'd be playing in the 'Canes lineup right now. Anyway, you're right he'd be great with our current core and could/would be a big help in getting over the hump yet again.

 

[markwart]

umm, trade deadline

Am I missing something, is there a flurry of deals happening all over the NHL while DS sitting on his hands?

We've needed a 2nd line RW for what, 3 years now?

He's a UFA I am pretty sure. There was an article from Sportsnet I linked a couple weeks ago mentioning him and that he'd been talking to a few teams about a possible return. Carolina is obviously one of them, but there are possible cap issues.

yeah and he got one last year, just like he got Rick Nash prior to that too


You see, there is this thing called a “salary cap” that they have to deal with first

and the Bruins have about 10 mil of dead space with Backes and the buyouts/retention.

 

[Blowfish]

Hoping the bruins learned from the Nash and BAckes experiments. Last year s trades were perfection. Keep it going Don.

Don't you mean "mismanagement of the salary cap"? Do we have a solution yet for the 2nd line RW? I'm on a forum to discuss hockey. I don't need you just trying to argue with me with your "I'm superior attitude", but thanks anyway.

Thanks, Dom that was the one. I couldn't remember whether it was TSN or Sportsnet

no irony there...

nasb was working out fine until his cheap shot

Nothing he said was wrong. Nothing he said came off as "superior attitude".

it was way too much to give up for a declining NHL player and proven playoff underachiever.

I still wonder what Johansson would have done if he didn't get injured in that amazing hit by Ferland.

False.

He did not address that hole last year. He got two third line players.

The Bruins went 2 for 6 on the PP last night.

In fact, they've score 5 power play goals in 3 games on 14 attempts without Krug. That's 36%, which would be 1st in the league and almost 10% higher than their season average. I know it's a small sample and I'm not trying to say their PP would be better without Krug, but I do think it's too early to say they'd be lost without him.

Pucks going in but no flow. Long term Krug is the man for me

 

[markwart]

Nothing he said was wrong. Nothing he said came off as "superior attitude".

Thank you so much for your valued opinion!

 

[Lobster57]

I wonder if the Sharks would move Goodrow. He's not a game changer, but he'd be a nice fit on 3RW, let Coyle move up to 2RW. Then kidnap Ottawa's GM, and get JG Pageau outta there for 3C duties.

Marchand/Bergy/Pasta
JDB/Krejci/Coyle
Heinen/Pageau/Goodrow
Nordy/Kuraly/Wagner

 

[Lobster57]

nevermind

42 has been paid to be the 2nd line RW during that time period and given us nothing. Every team has similar holes with the salary cap.
